This covid thing has got us considering an en-suite caravan upgrade. Being a bit of a biking family deally I’d like something that will store bikes inside out of sight, out of weather etc. Don’t really need a stupidly massive van though, when away we mostly spend time outside. Also wouldn’t buy...

I’m wanting to build an obstacle or two along some tame trails for a bit of variety. Up onto logs, over rocks, maybe a car body etc. I’ve seen plenty of pictures, but no good build guides on stuff like angles. Question: what sort of ramp angle or steepness works for going up or down? I’m...

I have a SRAM GX 1x11 equipped Trek Remedy. Owned since new, original geartrain. The shifting works perfectly except gear 5 which if I change from 6-5 will click and carry on like it wants to change gear, clicking several times per revolution. If I change from 4-5 it is noticably better, but...

I’ve had enough of my current job and want a change. Fortunately I have a fair bit of leave owing and we are financially comfortable so I can do this without finding a new job first. Thoughts moved to airtasker or similar to provide some income while I work out where to next. I’m a capable...

The rear RS shock in my Trek Remedy seemed to be bottoming out a bit easy so I check the air pressure and when I connected the pump it showed 0. Few pumps and it was up around 150 so I tested it again and it showed 0 on connection. Didn’t seem to be leaking, but after pumping didn’t seem to be...

A while back I saw a video of a van fitted out for mobile servicing cars. I was fitted with a remote controlled mobile car hoist that slid out from the van, lowered to the ground then 'drove' itself under the car to be serviced and lifted it up. Can't seem to find it anywhere, has anyone seen...

After riding XC bikes for years with SPDs the first ride on my new Remedy and I'm contemplating flat pedals and shoes for fun. Seems, the argument for and against is still going strong, but leaning towards flats for fun bikes and sticking with locked in for climbing. I do have an old pair of...

New bike is on way. Can't work out why they've specced Deore brakes on it, but figured I'd give them a little test and probably end up upgrading to my current XT with icetech setup. The bike has internal routing, so: How much drama is it to switch out the brakes, or alternatively is it...

Boost hubs 110/148 seem to be in favour currently. Are they the new standard, or something akin to octalink BBs that lasted a few seasons and all but disappeared? Had a browse this arvo and can't seem to see anything extra new on the horizon, but they'll surely come up with something not too...

I'm having trouble getting into the whole 29" wheel thing, but haven't ridden one much. I'm probably tall enough (180cm) that the frame wouldn't be compromised for wheel size. Coming from an agile XC 26" (2009) and now looking for a trial/fun oriented bike I'm not sure about 29", 27.5 seems to...

My rear shock has decided that it doesn't want as much oil in it so has leaked and now acts more like a pogo stick as the damping seems to have gone. It is a Fox Float RP23 that has served me fine. I'd like to get it fixed if possible rather than replace. I found nsdynamics. Are there others?
